title = "The Structures of the Finnish Public Administration",
abstract = "This chapter provides an overview of the structure of public administration in Finland, with a focus on the state administration and a brief description of other administrative levels. The Finnish politico-administrative system has had traditionally a two-tier government structure with a strong central government and autonomous municipal level. However, recent reform has established 18 wellbeing services counties, transforming the structure into a three-tier system. The chapter discusses the essential agencies, such as ministries, and the role of state agencies, as well as self-governing local and regional administration.",
